Beautiful Memorial Day expedition. It looked like most of the approach could be made along a power line right of way. Sometimes those are passable, sometimes not. In this case we lucked out. The power company is in the process of replacing a wooden pylon with metal ones, and their installation vehicle had mowed a lovely, easy-to-walk road along the right of way to within about 60 m of the hashpoint. When we arrived at the point where the grassy section and the new road ended, we faced an impenetrable-looking sassafras thicket. But at that point we went south into the open and navigable forest and were able to reach the hashpoint pretty easily.
Lucky break: road toward hashpoint..
The power company's pole-planting machine.
The finest Phillips screw I've ever seen.
Sassafras thicket, encouraging us to choose a different route from here.
Anybody know what this is?
Proof.
Grins.
